BINÄR PODCAST 030 // OPH

ES.

Stojche Cvetanovski (nacido en 1984 en Skopje, Macedonia) es sólo un rebelde común y corriente atrapado en el caos urbano del siglo XXI. El factor desencadenante que lo inspiró fue la escena techno underground local en Skopje. Una ciudad descrita por Derrick May y Juan Atkins como “el principal centro del techno de Detroit en la península de los Balcanes”. La expansión de los sonidos de la ciudad del motor en la capital macedonia y su manía por los discos de vinilo impulsaron a Stojche a explorar su camino y profundizar en este fenómeno musical futurista. Después de una década dedicada a ser DJ, pasó a producir y en 2009 cofundó “Argumento Music”.

Es uno de los nombres del circuito europeo que se abrió paso con contribuciones a sellos como A.r.t.less, Syncrophone, Conform, Subwax, Mutual Rytm, entre otros. En 2011 lanzó su sello en solitario “Tangible Assets”. Una salida que le ha dado la libertad de explorar y refinar sus producciones dobladas influenciadas por Detroit. “Tangible Assets” refleja una declaración personal con un énfasis en el aprecio por la historia del techno. Su discografía lo marcó como uno de los nombres que todavía está impulsando la envoltura atemporal del legado inicial del “hi-tech soul”.

Por el contrario, sus sesiones de DJ proporcionan una prueba más de los años que pasó detrás de los tocadiscos, lo que resultó en viajes intensos con una dosis de contenido emocional. Su constante búsqueda de inspiración se equilibra con el pulso de la vida de la ciudad. Encerrado en su estudio de Madrid, donde la pasión y el proceso se catalizan en formas de ondas de viajes intensos, ejecutados por un hombre que está en sintonía con su oficio.

Stojche Cvetanovski (born in 1984 in Skopje, Macedonia) is just a regular rebel trapped in the urban chaos of the 21st century. The trigger factor that inspired him, was the local underground techno scene in Skopje. A city described by Derrick May and Juan Atkins as “the leading hub for Detroit techno on the Balkan Peninsula”. The expansion of the motor city sounds in the Macedonian capital and his mania for vinyl records triggered Stojche to explore his path and dig deeper in this futuristic music phenomenon. After a decade devoted to djing, he shifted to producing, and in 2009 he co-founded “Argumento Music”.

He is one of the names on the European circuit that broke through with contributions to labels like A.r.t.less, Syncrophone, Conform, Subwax, Mutual Rytm, alongside others. In 2011 he launched his solo imprint “Tangible Assets”. An outlet that has given him the freedom to explore and refine his trademark Detroit – influenced dubbed out productions. “Tangible Assets” reflects a personal statement with emphasized appreciation for the techno history. His discography marked him as one of the names that is still pushing forward the timeless envelope of the initial “hi-tech soul” legacy.

In contrast, his dj sets provide further evidence of years spent behind the turntables, resulting in pounding journeys with a dose of emotional content. His constant pursuit for inspiration sits balanced with the pulse of the city life. Locked away in his studio in Madrid where passion and process all catalyze into waveforms of intense voyages, executed by a man who is well in tune with his craft.

T- LABEL | Podcast #153 | Stojche

Sam Coates took to techno like a diligent pupil, falling in love with the genre through labels like CLR in the late '00s. It didn't take long for the student to surpass his proverbial teachers. Almost immediately, the Manchester native was putting out pitch-perfect, functional techno records with everything intricately balanced. The requisite move to Berlin only sealed his fate as a future techno luminary, and by now, based in Kyiv, he's one of techno's most reliable, yet exciting, workhorses. Setaoc Mass records (and those on his label, SK_eleven) are minimalist but colossal, deceptively simple but not easy to pull off. 

We've praised him in these pages for his "sense of economy—how to get the hardest impact out of just a few elements," and that's the idea behind his RA Podcast as well. Put together from records old and new, and intricately layered, Coates's mix is like a time-travelling wormhole connecting disparate eras from techno, and highlighting the genre's most timeless attributes: mechanistic rhythms, careful pacing, rudimentary melodies made out of the strangest sounds and, of course, the power of the bass drop. It's hard to imagine anything that sounds more capital-T techno than this mix, which is a high compliment. It's easy to hear why his records and DJ sets are only more in demand from techno heads across the geographical and generational spectrum.

#SlamRadio - 591 - Reka Zalan

JakoJako (@jakojako_live) always wanted to make music and her self-confessed hyperactivity ultimately led to her getting the most joy out of playing about with machines and patching up synths. These days the Berghain resident is a celebrated live act and DJ who draws on the considerable knowledge she picked up working at Berlin's legendary synth shop SchneidersLaden, but she has also worked on several high-profile motion sensor dance projects at places like The Royal Albert Hall. Her smart sound designs and unique rhythms have landed on Leisure System, Tresor and Figure and she has a new EP coming on Mute this June.

Her mix for us this week features a sneak preview of one of the tracks from that EP as well as mixing up music from Alaric, Siege, Altinbas and many more. It's full of high-speed sounds couched loosely in techno but with moods and textures borrowed from industrial, minimal and even trance as things reach an emotional peak late on. Though she broke through as a live act, this set shows JakoJako can now speak just as freely through the decks.

Dekmantel Podcast 462 - JakoJako

Born in Algeria, and raised between France and the Netherlands, with a later stint in London, Mary Lake has lived a life through the lens of different cultures, each adding a little more to her experience in the realm of electronic music. It wasn’t always her medium, but in DJing she’s found her most authentic voice, with her start at more intimate house parties, then on to the best and brightest of Dutch clubs and festivals. For her, creative discovery and expanding the limits of craft is key, covering both the range of utilitarian techno and more atypical sounds, the likes of which she was apt to share via her experimental pandemic-era radio show Worshipping Discordia. Alongside that, and a slew of catchy releases, she’s now a Spielraum resident and frequently billed on stages from Dekmantel to De School to Tresor, Bassiani and beyond. Her percussive techno spreads the kind of wildly infectious crowd energy that drew a younger her towards it many moons ago, now she's on the inside looking out. Bassiani Podcast 209 is an hour of vanguard beats delivered fresh by this burgeoning selector, driving and serpentine basslines to rattle your musical senses.

FrenzyPodcast #176 - Lea Occhi

✈ To celebrate this new episode, we are proud and delighted to host such an iconic figure from the Berlin Techno scene : INLAND (Counterchange Recordings/Figure).

Known for his explorative techno and ambient productions, he’s released numerous EPs on his home label Counterchange, appeared on Ostgut Ton, Figure, Infrastructure, and released his debut LP on Ostgut Ton sub-label A-TON.

Working closely alongside US artist Function between 2014 and 2017, the pair released the comeback record for Function's Infrastructure label, with their now-legendary 'Odeon / Rhyl' EP and went on to compile the heavyweight 'Facticity' compilation, also teaming up on the soaring 'Colwyn Bay' in 2016. 

In 2020 Inland presented a 4 x 12'' box-set compilation and DJ mix entitled 'Stream State', featuring music from contemporaries like Efdemin, Peter Van Hoesen, Joel Mull, DJ Skull, Mark Broom and many more. This was closely followed by the full-length LP, 'Potential Current' (COUTER016), and 2 acclaimed EPs of up-temp, peak-time tracks in 2022, 'Namsan' and the BRETT offshoot label (BRETT001), igniting some of Davenport's most frenetic work to date.

Enjoy and feel free to share! Love & Techno

Interview

PARADOX PODCAST #158 -- INLAND

For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

Altinbas at Open Ground 08-05-2024

For our 93rd edition, we´re happy to have @ddoldd

As a live artist and DJ, Patrik Eriksson's work as Dold often
explores the evolving landscape of dance music with one eye
sharply focused on its truest forms. Hailing from Stockholm,
Eriksson built up his reputation alongside live performance
partner Kuf. The pair set up Arsenik Records in 2015, creating a
vital platform to develop their vision of 21st-century techno on
their own terms.

Reclaim Your City 595 | Altinbas (Brussels)

Merchant of feral-minded, steel-clad floor wares harboured by some of the finest imprints out there including Token and SK_eleven, in addition to his own outlet, Observer Station, Fuse resident Altinbas takes over the RYC broadcast with an explosive two-hour ride fusing pure raging uptempo arson and highly trenchant, indus-oriented machine funk. Blast it out full force and let the trippy winds of primitive drums patterns, 909-fuelled obsession and dubbed-out 4x4 mystique alter your senses durably, for the spirit of rave shines high and bright above us. Total heater of a mix, you’ve been warned.
